With CrookCatcher installed on your phone or tablet, you might have a chance at getting it back!
CrookCatcher hides behind the lockscreen and takes a picture of anyone trying to unlock your device with the wrong pin, password or pattern.
CrookCatcher immediately emails the photo of the crook to you, along with your device’s current GPS location.
So whether your phone gets stolen or your coworker/partner/friend is simply snooping around, with CrookCatcher you always know if you have an intruder!
